Hmm... I've made some observations on the volume-control's behaviour by 
watching alsamixer:
At mute (0% system volume), Master is 0%, PCM is 0%, and Surround is 0%.
System volume goes above 0%, PCM goes straight to 75% and than the Surround 
Slider.
System volume goes above 10%, Surround is at 100% and than the Master slider 
starts increasing.
System volume goes above 60%, Master is at 100% and than the PCM slider starts 
increasing.

Now, I have couple issues with this:
Why does PCM go straight to 75%, shouldn't it ease up there slowly right after 
mute?
Why is only the Surround slider moving between 0-10%. It doesn't have any 
affect on normal volume control. In fact, I think it's only used when the 
digital 5.1 audio is being used, which is not a normal use case.

Both PCM and surround should be going up gradually throughtout the
entire volume control process, not just jumping around illogically and
annoyingly.
